Go BUCKS!!! (there's you're hint!)
Wow, you guys are very in depth with your reseach. Maybe there is a reason why it's not adding up...something we don't know yet. Or maybe it could have been a mistake. We'll most likely find out eventually.

ATW wrote the SAR after Xehanort started calling himself Ansem. By the time ATW wrote the reports, it HAD been some years ago when he had found Xehanort, because he didn't begin writing the SAR until long after Xehanort became Ansem SoD. There's no math error there, you just have your own timeline confused. ^^

It's one of two things, a mistranslation or it is retconning.

Retcon or Retroactive Continuity - it is the deliberate changing of previously established facts in a work of serial fiction.

Retconning may be carried out for a variety of reasons, such as to accommodate sequels or further derivative works in the same series, to reintroduce popular characters, to make a reboot of an old series more relevant to modern audiences, or to simplify an excessively complex continuity structure.

Uh-oh, I smell an AtW returning from the dead. Someone's gonna have to answer this riddle for us. Who better than him to answer his own?

1. Mickey never told them to stop the experiments. Ansem the Wise did.
2. Xehanort wasnt named by AtW.
3. You're right. It could have taken a year, but it didnt because Ansem the Wise said that he met Xehanort years before the actual experiments took place. Read the reports.

All in all...Nomura made a mistake...

Only if our assumptions that Xehanort came into being around or during BBS are true. Otherwise, if Xehanort came around before BBS, then Nomura never made any mistake.

Either that or AtW wrote the Reports in present tense at a much later date. Or he's "retconning." Making up the info. Not sure why he'd do that though.

BBS > Ansem's experiment > Xehanort continues experiment and steals ATW's name > ATW becomes DiZ and writes the secret Ansem reports, which were written some time after ATW found Xehanort meaning that it was, indeed, some years ago when ATW found Xehanort

ok the real Ansem reports talk as everything that happened to him happened in the past (as in all the events happened and he just happens to write a report about it a few years after) so really it could say 'some' and the one year gap is easily explained.

there's no reason to why this should confuse anyone
